Another Blender modeling and Cycles Render Study

The challenge was to model and render the first computer I ever own. This bring me back to May 12th, 2001, when I had the opportunity of owning a Compaq Presario 5000 series and maintaining it until now. Check it out!

O desafio foi modelar e renderizar o primeiro computador que tive. Isso me leva para 12/05/2001, quando tive a oportunidade de ter um Compaq Presario série 5000 e conservá-lo até hoje.
With special thanks to Fernando Soares with great tips and the storytelling
Something like the display, even with the whole price tag - Version rendered in Blender 3.0. Below, images rendered in Blender 2.92
Trying to be accurate on the plastic texture for the blue display surface...
... as well as the cloth and the brushed steel textures for the speakers.
Rendered in Blender 3.0

- The CRT monitor on the render (model MV740) differs from the original model I had with the original system (model B540). It was changed so the modelling could be more complex.
